Red-legged Seriema (Cariama cristata), family Cariamidae, order Cariamiformes, found in central and eastern South America
Seriemas were once placed in the Gruiformes, but in 2014 were elevated to their own order. They are most closely related to Falconidae, Psittaciformes and Passeriformes.
They are territorial, and some people ion South America use them as guard animals.
Seriemas eat a wide variety of small prey, and are known to pick up snakes with their beaks and slam them hard onto the ground repeatedly, to subdue/kill them.
